Description
ZMPT101B AC Voltage Sensor is the best for the purpose of the DIY project, where we
need to measure the accurate AC voltage with voltage transformer. ZMPT101B is an
ideal choice to measure the AC voltage using Arduino/ESP8266/Raspberry Pi like an
opensource platform. In many electrical projects, engineer directly deals with
measurements with few basic requirements like
Wide Range
High accuracy
Good Consistency
ZMPT101B Calculation
R1 is chosen so that the current through the winding does not exceed 2mA, it holds a
maximum of 10mA, but after 2mA linearity is lost and the output will be clear that.
VOutmax is decided by the ADC peak voltage in the sampling loop of Microcontroller.

Where
When Rated input voltage ≤ 100V , Usually choosing the operating current I=2mA;
When Rated input voltage ≥ 220V,To reducing the resistor power, usually choosing
the operating current 1 mA ≤ I ≤ 2 mA.

To improve reliability, the current-limiting resistor selected usually is greater than its
4times the rated power, and generally use a high temperature coefficient metal film
resistor.
